Abstract

Abstract Alkylcopper compounds RCu react with salt-free cuprous acetylides R′ C CCu to give disubstituted acetylenes, R′ C CR, the products of unsymmetrical coupling. Conjugated acetylenic acids react with methylcopper in the absence of salts to give similar products resulting from decarboxylation followed by coupling.
